Installing Downpipes On My Nissan GT-R! LOUD

Lets install the Armytrix downpipes on my Nissan GT-R!!
In todays video we install the Armytrix Downpipes on my 2014 Nissan GT-R! This is a challenging installation because the downpipes are so far up. The bolts to the turbos are not easy to get to. 5 bolts are on each downpipes, and you can only see 3 on each side. Using a combination of extensions, 360 swivel socks and a long breaker bar, we managed to get to alll of the bolts.
I sprayed PB Blaster penetrant oil on all the bolts before we started and I had no issues. The bolts are tight and you need to make sure the socket is on it square, but with leverage, I did not snap any studs.
It takes a bit to remove the 02 sensors on the stock GT-R downpipes, but using a channel lock wrench I could peel back the heat shield and get to the hex portion. I also sprayed the PB Blaster on these.
Overall we got the bolts and sensors out safely! If you snap studs on the turbos the engine needs to be removed to fix! That would suck!
Much easier to install the downpipes on my GT-R because they are much smaller than the stock cats.
Upcoming video we'll get the injectors installed and then see how my stage 3 straight pipe Nissan GT-R sounds!!

Hi Brian, until today I never heard of an armytrix exhaust, so I learned something. It was interesting to watch you and Mike work on it, but the fact you two knew what you were doing was incredible. Cars are certainly what you both know. I think I might now understand why it's called an armytrix exhaust. I did hear some difference in the sound of your GT-R. Alright so 7 days a week you upload a new video at 9am? Brian or Mike, can you please review a 2019 Subaru Forester in Limited or Touring trim level. Excellent vid Brian and Mike.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah Armytrix is the brand name. The best exhaust in the game! And being Valvetronic I can make the car loud or quiet with a press of a button. Everyday we have a video at 9am! We can try for a new Forester

Hey man, Amazing video! I got the 2017 model and just decided to do some upgrades to have a louder car. I installed the armytrix cat-back exhaust (mid pipe - valvetronic muffler)... thinking of also changing the downpipes, what do you think? and should i do any additional modifications to have these changes running well?

@BrosFOURRSpeed 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely do downpipes!! Amazing sound! You will need bigger fuel injectors and tuning tho. So get a Cobb accessport and 1050cc injectors and rock a stage 3 tune!

@videomaniac108 5 жыл бұрын

Without cats cleaning up the exhaust wouldn't the downstream O2 sensor read the same as the upstream one and therefore cause the ECU to read that as a non-functioning cat and thus throw a code?

@coreydukes5725 5 жыл бұрын

Well yes but a tune will remedy it.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 5 жыл бұрын

Technically. But these downpipes have a bung that just has a tiny hole in it. So the 2nd sensors only get the slightest amount of exhaust gas to them. Plus the tune will turn off cats anyways and adjust the computer to throw no codes.

It's no harder to drive. After I added the fuel injectors and new tune I could safely run this setup. Car is more powerful than before and sounds amazing! Having the valvetronic muffler keeps the car quiet enough when needed and then I can have it valve open for aweseom sound! Definitely recommend!

@ceecamacho1427 4 жыл бұрын

So wouldn't it make sense to just cut the existing down pipe with a saw as close as you can to the bolts. Once you do that you will have much more leverage and access to the bolts. I'm sure your not going to put the old down pipes back. Even if you had to buy used OEM down pipes it's still better than risking to break that bolt at the very top.

@omarbadawi1458 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you need tuning. Deleting the cats without a tune isnt too safe for the turbos. Can risk over boosting. You should get 1050cc fuel injectors as well. Go to AAMcompetition.com and get fuel injectors and a Cobb Accessport. They can send you a stage 3 tune for you car and it'll run perfect. Give them a call!

It's not a must. However the proper tuning with downpipes will max out the stock injectors. So eventually you'll want to upgrade them. I didn't do them till I went Flex Fuel tho with bigger fuel pumps. So if you stick with 93 youll be good
